A Gigantic Rubber Duck Floated Through London's Financial District Today

A 50 foot-tall rubber duck floated
through London's financial district today to celebrate the launch
of a Jackpotjoy.com's Facebook FUNdation, an initiative granting
funds and rewards for wacky ideas to encourage the British to
laugh more.

The Daily Mail reports that
a team of eight people spent more than 800
man-hours cutting and welding together the parts of the duck to
make sure it was airtight before it began its swim.
